Hi there my 01' legacy gt is making clicking noises when you use a little acceleration?? Round about when the turbo kicks in?? Any suggestions? Cheers

Is it clicking or ping? can you reproduce it when the car is parked? Has the car gotten louder when cold? How are the CV joints?

I had a 99 Forester that started making a clicking noise in the engine compartment and was losing power while doing 75 on the interstate while loaded with gear and a canoe. I downshifted from 5th to 4th. It stopped clicking and regained power so I shifted to 5th again.

 

About 15 minutes later it started clicking and losing power again. More gas or downshifting had no impact. I barely made it to an exit ramp. No warning lights were on. I Shut it off and opened the hood. No sign of leaks or anything in the engine compartment or under the car. Tried to start it up but it wouldn't turn over.

 

Had it towed to Subaru dealer in Kansas City. Since they were closed (it was a Sunday early evening) I left it in their lot and took a motel. Next morning I went over there. It started but it was making a loud banging noise in the engine. Turned out it blew a rod.

 

RIP old 99 Forester. It had 238,000 miles on it at its demise.
